Bardabe Performance Suction Supreme Intake kit for the Evo X!

[bardabe]

Ninja Edit!: Dyno Testing article here:Â* http://www.bardabe.com/2011/07/bardabe-performance-intake-kit-evo/

The Long Long wait is now Over guys, after months of testing, development, logging, testing, cutting, welding, logging, machining, logging, welding, testing, logging, testing, logging, welding, machining, logging, testing and logging. the Kit is Finally 100% ready for the market. I would like to introduce the All New Designed from the best materials and products the market has to offer today the Bardabe Performance Suction Supreme Intake kit for the 2008+ Evo X. This intake kit to my knowledge is the most sophisticated intake kit on the market today. after months of R&D i have come to the conclusion that this is the best intake kit for anyone running Stock Frame turbos. The intake kit comes from 3" T6-6061 Mandrel Bent Aluminum,Â* Kit comes just as the UICP Did with 4ply Silicone Couplers, a Massive 6" Velocity Stack to keep the air flow smoother than anything else on the market today, the Velocity stack was made just for this kit with dimensions for the Filter I will be using. The Blue Filter with inverted filter design that incorporates an internal air Cone. not to mention is the biggest filter on the market today. sitting at a 7" Outside Diameter and a 6" Inlet this filter offers the Most Filtration Area / Volume than any other filter on the market. it also comes with the Same Warranty that K&N Offers I will pass down to you of 1,000,000 Miles. Filter is fully washable and reusable you can use the K&N Filter oil and cleaner if you wish to wash it with that Or I can provide you guys with the Blue Oil if you want to keep it that nice bright blue.

all This time i tried different filters from different companies, different shapes and sizes, and this has come on top. keeping filtration in mind as well as flow. This filter material has finer filtering than the K&N keeping all the flow characteristics we love from Big Name Companies. (the power numbers don't lie) while keeping your MAF, Turbo and Engine Clean and Happy. This intake kit was well fined tuned to do 3 things. well 4 if you count putting a big grin in your face. 1) POWER!!!!Â* it gets rid of the dead spots on the RPM Band if you get on your Evo X with a stock air box, or any other intake on the market really. you will notice your car starts to fall off on the power right around 5500 RPM. Yeah this intake takes care of that problem. no more Fall off at high RPM's. not to mention the gains across the RPM Band 2.) SPOOL!!! This intake lets your car breath and Spool harder than ever before. with the intake kit your turbo spools sooner and faster than before it is considerably louder sounds really good. I scared off quite a few cars testing. they thought i had a big turbo upgrade lol. 3) Fuel Trims and AIT's!!!Â* I read this thread last year posted by a Reputable tunner on here known as Looney Tunes. http://www.socalevo.net/index.php?option=com_smf&Itemid=37&topic=83379.0 and i was determined to make an intake kit that keeps the fuel trims in check. Stock air box will jump around 0% all the way to 4.2% while cruising, the Bardabe Performance Intake Kit scored numbers max numbers of only 3.9%!!!!Â* so no worries on leaning our or getting an CEL with this intake kit. also cruising I notice AIT's to be anywhere between 8* to 12* Higher than the ambient air temperatures depending on weather conditions and cruising speeds, which is where you want to be. Dyno Numbers will be coming soon I want to say the kit is good for about 20-25whp gain. my test car dynoed 286WHP un tuned with just the intake in place. unfortunately no baselines where taken. so in the next 2 weeks we will take 2 stock X's Do Baselines, throw this baby on and Dyno again to get you guys exact numbers. but let me tell you. this is Nothing like the UICP alone, together these 2 make your car come to life!!!!

That is the way the intake kit sits currently, clean effective and Powerful!

as you can see the filter really is big, as big as the factory air box!!! here are some comparisons to my Office PC's 22" Acer monitor.

there you can see a picture of the inverted cone, this does 2 things. 1) More Filtering Area, and 2) Aids the velocity stack to keep the airflow smooth and fast.

so after months of testing and development is finally here, I will refrain from posting Dyno Numbers until the Pre sales are over. Right now everything is at the machine shop waiting for me to pick up and get to welding to drop off at the powder coasters and then ship out to you guys! There will be a 1-2 week wait on the pre orders for me to be able to weld them up and have them coated or polished. the pipes will come in 2 options Polished or Poweder Coated the OEM Black. Special Colors are available for Powder Coating at additional costs. the Intake kit comes in 2 Packages.

1) Intake and UICP Combo, for all the people who waited to get it together in one shot. here it is. you can get them in OEM black or Custom Color. the Price for both Pieces in OEM Black is $399.00 shipped. custom colors are 50$ Extra.

2) Intake alone, for the guys who already have an UICP from their favorite vendor. the intake in OEM Black isÂ* $299.00 and just like the combo can be powdercoated in any color you want for an extra $50.

Props to Juan @ Bardabe Performance, the kit looks amazing in both pictures and in person. I have witnessed and felt the differences in his car compared to mine and even when rolling next to each other his car pulls like a bat out of hell. I will be buying mine tomorrow and you guys should definitely pm him about the special low pricing, you won't be disappointed. Can't wait for mine :)

[nicklulu]

Any pics of the intake out of the car and a pic of the velocity stack?

[Doug200t]

Yah his car runs SOOOOOOOoooo Different it was crazy seeing how slight changes made the car run totally different I would have never expected such gains.

[WhatchuTalkinBout]

Some interesting mail you have there sitting under the intake.

[CICreations]

Nice looking piece!

[MA70Snowman]

WOOT SOO HAPPY!!! .. and I can't even see the pictures (damn work Net Nazi's)

Why pm secret pricing? U can't just tell us the price?Â* Any plans to make some kind of "stealth mode" version?Â* Some prefer the ugly black stock look. With all the hood poppin going on around SoCal I would think that blingy pretty intake would garner an instant ref ticket by some cop with a vengence against any kind of import car.

Can you post some before/after tuning graphs or anything like that...to compare #s and stuff for the dyno racers who need to "read" the results instead of feeling them.

re-read where it says OEM BLACK powder coating available.. I have the OEM BLACK UICP and it does NOT jump out at you (might want to think about keeping your worm clamps over T-bolts if your that worried about it.)
Also he intends to get some baselines w/ stock evos, and then re-dyno after the intake install. it's all in the first post. Bardabe is definately covering his bases, and the masses will be satisfied.. well as soon as get my hands on mine.. until then the masses are not satisfied ;)

The Pre Order Pricing is Very Low, its too ridiculous to post to the general public. that is why I'm only making it a Special Price Until Monday June 20th By Midnight. after that the only way to get it cheaper than regualr price will be within 30 days at the introductory sale. about the Stock Look Snow Man Pretty much Hit the Nail on the Head, there is an OEM Black Powder coated Version that is available. I Will take pictures of those versions as soon as i get them done. this is a Phone Camera a Forum Member took after the install of his OEM Black UICP. http://www.socalevo.net/gallery/albums/userpics/16752/normal_2011-05-17_17-07-03_800.jpg

if you are looking for anything stealthier than that the only thing you can do is put a K&N Drop in because when it really comes down to it every cop is different and it's not unheard of for a cop to give someone a ticket even if their setups are CARB legal. (which if you read on the bottom of the first post my kit is Carb Pending)

Dyno Numbers, of course being that the kit has been in development for so long there is absolutely no doubt that this kit will give you guys some Nasty gains (in a good way) Within the next few weeks I will take a few select Evos with the help of the community and have before and after dyno runs performed. unfortunately I don't have my own In House Dyno so i want to round up a couple X's and go to the Dyno Facility the same day at the same time to have a solid average WHP Gain.

[MA70Snowman]

Oh oh oh.. pick me, pick me. lol. All i've got is a CBexhuast and your UICP. and that UICP can be swapped to stock no problem, or it's a good start to see what base mods can do to increase the gains on the intake. actually depending on wher eyou plan on dynoing you might be to far for me lol. :buck2:

[I like to Smash]

when the a/c runs, it blows hot air to the intake. Does this use some type of heatshield to prevent intake from heat soak???

[raz0rbladez909]

when the a/c runs, it blows hot air to the intake. Does this use some type of heatshield to prevent intake from heat soak???

"Now remember i said the kit was 99% done? well this is the 1% that is left and will leave it up to you guys. HEAT SHIELD! I tested several heat shield styles, from simple to complex designs like the Injen. and honestly the benefit out weights both the Cost AND the Effects. AIT's only dropped 1-2* cruising. The Injen and other intake on the market i logged with heat shields STILL heat soaks sitting at idle in traffic conditions, the downside to it being that when we started rolling at 60-70mph speeds it actually took longer to get the AIT's back to normal because the heat shield was isolating air circulation to the filter, and some cases to the pipe itself not to mention it quieted down the intake a little bit. so I will be making the Heatshield for the Intake Kit an Optional buy. i didn't forget about you Heat shield die hard fans! prices on those shields will be coming soon, but from my testing and design they are obsolete. This intake kit keeps the engine bay simple clean and Mean!. now the moment you have all been waiting for, pictures!!! "

[FUEL]

^ what he said + it would just cover the intake from "prying eyes" and well to be honest IMO the chrome stuff belongs in FnF :buck2: can't stand the "chrome look"...but that's just me

Reading from a phone at 1am while at work...I just skimmed through your post... I must have missed the "stealth part" ... I prefer the ugly black stuff...and from experience the cops around the LA/OC area can be major jerks. :buck2:

The upper IC looks good...giant clamps I would end up spraying black (just to be safe)

Any plans for parts for the Evo VIII/IX ? I need some IC pipes for my rebuild and a whole new intake system...was going to run the stock set up...but If I can find something different THAT works even better.

I like reading real results not the "my homie says it works so it must be true! stuff" ...just me being pessamist that's all ;)

[WhiteRS]

Pick my car completely stock 2011 x lol

[amaev05]

stock 2010 se here for your testing pleasure if it means a good deal on an intake?

[bardabe]

Midnight just got done doing paperwork bump! Send Paypal to [email protected] ASAP guys the Pre-Order Special ends soon before you have to pay the introductory Price!!!! which will only be good for another 3 weeks after pre sale anyway! get it while its at its lowest Brand new Price! i gurantee even Bardabe Performance Authorized Dealers wont be able to beat the pre order sale!

-Juan

[l Sneaky Evo l]

Nice job juan!

Props to Juan, Met him for the first time conveniently at my GFs sisters Bday Party! I was DRUNK but i DO remember checking out his IC piping kit and it was nice and legit.


Props for a Stand Up Guy and good Products!

[bardabe]

Friday Bump Fellas feel free to ask any questions or concerns you may have I'll be more than happy to have a Q/A Session to get all speculations and doubts out of the way!

[MA70Snowman]

No doubts from this field, i've seen it first hand and felt it. I would like to see a no kiding dyno just for curiosities sake.

any eta on first batchs? Its been 3 days since I've done something to the X and getting the itch againÂ* :uglystupid2:

BTW: There's NO reason everyone shouldn't be ordering this.. the prices are too good to be true, I'm scared Bardabe is going to go out of business w/ prices this low. If you already got an intake.. well it's inferior sell it off buy this one. and We need 999 other people to buy one so we can get carb stickers.

well The machine shop fell a little bit behind but not a big deal, I can make up for their Lag, Tomorrow morning i pick up all the stuff so I can get to Making the Jig, weld em all up and drop off at powdercoater and polishing place. as soon as they are ready I will post up pictures of the batch haha. you will receive a call from me as soon as its ready =)

[reggieting]

Pre ordered mine today. Brake boosting with this kit feels and sounds insane.

[raz0rbladez909]

Pre ordered mine, can't wait til it is in ;)

[reggieting]

Seems like everyone's going polished Chris . Stealth mode for me. SD cops are dicks. Haha.

[bardabe]

Thank you guys, Glad to feel the support of this great comunity and the faith of all the pre-orders placed. Today I got a Giant Box of goodies from my machine shop. time to get craking on these bad boys.

on the other hand Pre-Sales are now officialy over, however for the next 5 orders I will cover this shipping. to save you some cash for the next MOD. While I weld all these up and get them pretied up for you guys I am working hard to provide you guys with a Nice Intercooler core! I'm thinking 3.5" Thick

[MA70Snowman]

I'm with you man, plus bling has never been my style. Keep up the solid work Juan, and thanks for hooking up the community.

[raz0rbladez909]

Haha I was gonna do neon yellow but decided it wouldn't flow too well if I changed my mind lol, figure if a
Cop sees a filter that big it's not gonna matter what color the pipe is.

[reggieting]

True. I'm just going to pull the " I bought it at autozone" card. Hahahahahahaha :-)

Neon yellow woulda been SICK! "that little guy? I wouldn't worry about that little guy" lol

[RCA4697]

Any update on the kits??? :D can't wait!!!!

[bardabe]

Yes I litteraly just stoped welding for the Day, I got all the UICP's done today, tomorrow i gotta buzz the Intake pipes together and drop them off to the polishing and powder coaters! after lunch time tomorrow it all comes down to the powdercoater and Polisher to when they go out.

I can't thank you guys enough for your patience and support. Dyno Numbers will be coming soon!

you can thank me for the support, but not the patience :D

[bardabe]

ok guys talked to my powder coater just now looks like this weekend won't be a green light to ship. pre sales i should have them back by wednesday at which point i can do the final inspection and quality overview. keep the orders comming I am working hard at pumping these bad boys out. however for all of you guys that are waiting to pick up I am still behind on orders if you want yours ASAP i would suggest you send the paypal ASAP so that you can hold your spot in line. because at the order that they get paid for is the order they get shipped / received.

here is a tease of the ones i got done today that just got droped off at the powder coaters.

Lets just say, today was a very long day of dyno testing and getting baselines for stock cars withand without the intakes on them. Needless to say, once Juan @ Bardabe Performance Development, and Naji @ Looney Tuning come in here, many of you will definitely be more than impressed ;)

[nicklulu]

Unique color! Also looks that it's a bit longer (extra weld) too

Looks really noice!

Hows the BOV clearance?

it might be just the angle of the picture but it looks pretty close.

[MA70Snowman]

Daymn razor love that color! Looks epic under the hood. So uh.... Where's the dyno? Sorry I couldnt make it. Was leaving same day you guys where running on the dyno

[raz0rbladez909]

Ah as far as the bov goes the clearance is just fine I have no issues with it, and the dyno sheets were sent to Naji and he will be posting shortly to explain how much the intakes benefit compared to the stock setup. I will say this, on a cooler day we wouldve seen much better gains but at one point it was 105 out and it was still performing better throughout the powerband and spooling earlier than stock. I'm not too good at explaining it so im just gona let one of them poke in here

[nicklulu]

^^^^ is yours custom made. By custom made, Jose added some length to it?

If so, why?

[bardabe]

^^^^ is yours custom made. By custom made, Jose added some length to it?

Hi nick, only thing custom about his Intake UICP Combo is that its Yellow, everything else is the same as the other kits. reason he has an extra weld is because one of the pipes i got from my supplier was a tad bit short so i added on to it that's all.

and for everyone who wanted to see the gains. here is a link to the article of our Dyno Sessions. 104*+ weather. 112* Inside the Dyno Room, and still gained 40whp and 30ft lbs of torque!

http://www.bardabe.com/2011/07/bardabe-performance-intake-kit-evo/

[nicklulu]

You also did Reggie's?!

Awesome!

Did you guys tested an MR?

[nicklulu]

You wouldn't need to tune the car off the bat with your intake compared to others right?

[raz0rbladez909]

No tune needed, the fuel trims were consistently in check and I've been monitoring ever since the install. It has performed better then stock the entire time ive been driving with it on. And about the pipe having an extra weld it is exactly what Juan said, but no big deal to me doesn't hurt performance in any way

[nicklulu]

The article looks good.

I was hoping that an MR was also bench-marked.

What was the baseline HP of the cars?

[bardabe]

hey nick unfortunately we had 1 MR but he had to go on a last minute business trip so we just did the GSR's and quite honestly i don't think the MR would have been any different. its the same engine tune and engine management.

yes on the article you see the Baseline pull and the Intake pull. so you have a comparison of stock vs Intake.

[reggieting]

Had a great time. Very hot day forsure. Drove the car last night 65* foggy and car feels amazing. I'll see if I can get a video tonight if I remember. But all in all worth it just hanging out. Can't wait for the rest of my bolt ons to tune. Can't wait to hang out again.

[nicklulu]

the blue is the stock right and the red is the intake uicp (on the 2nd graph), pink stock and green on after (1st graph)?

I was looking for the 30 and 40 hp difference.


I think my brain is till on vacation mode.

lol

[nicklulu]

If you probably called me last minute, i'd probably drove from SD!

Just to hang out and see this kind of stuff gets my wheel spinning!

Ahhh Damn I should of called you. didn't know you would be down to go last minute. I'll keep you in mind / in line for the next dyno testing we do.

[bardabe]

Ok Guys I will be extending this intro prices for a tad bit longer. These prices won't last forever but I'm working on Intercooler development now and need mroe time to complete them. but I'm also making more intakes. just gotta let me know what color you want them so i can have them powder coated and shipped to your door!

[xmuscle]

Just wanna throw my 2 cents in - i saw the product, the install, and the testing. Great product Juan def knows his shit - The intake kit sounds amazing and the numbers don't lie - I will definitely be throwing this setup on once he gets some more in - Everyone should spent a sec and check out his product line.

[nicklulu]

Does the intake come with a mounting braket? I was not able to see it in the pics.

I already have the UICP in black, it would be off if i decide to get the intake and go with a different color......

Not unless if i can trade my flat black in. :D

lol.

[RCA4697]

I love the kit. once again, thanks to Juan, KT motoring, and everyone there last sat. (not so good in names) but the kit responds very good especially at top end. very happy with the purchase! All i need now is an exhaust, dp, testpipe and a good tune to get the full benefit.

thanks yall!

Reggie,

have you taken a video of it yet?

Did you guys have some clips from last Saturday?

[raz0rbladez909]

Lol Nick you need to just buy one already I swear you won't be disappointed lol, but yes we have several videos I think they are on Facebook I have to figure out how to embed them I'm not so great with computers

[nicklulu]

Lol Nick you need to just buy one already I swear you won't be disappointed lol, but yes we have several videos I think they are on Facebook I have to figure out how to embed them I'm not so great with computers

I'm a Service Desk Admin and do technical support for a living. :D

[reggieting]

I have videos from Saturday. Before and after. But I dint know how to post it up on here without hosting somewhere else. Add me on fb. I have a couple videos posted on my page. Reggie Ting. My main pic is the same as my avatar.

[nicklulu]

^^^ post it in youtube....

I don't have a FB account.

I'm avoiding drama..... lol

[reggieting]

I don't have a YouTube account lol. Photobucket didn't do videos. I'll try to figure something out after dinner.

[reggieting]

Depends on how tired I am from work tomorrow but I might attend the meet tomorrow. Make X owners aware of the bardabe performance intake. :) ill take you for a ride along if I we both attend.

[nicklulu]

I'll try to be there since we have a family friend from Vegas visiting here in SD for a week.

[bardabe]

Got a couple batches sitting at the powdercoaters, will be in stock again Wednesday!

[CICreations]

I'm curious if that cone filter will fit inside the AEM box and clamp onto the AEM pipe? I sure wish this kit had been available when I bought my 08 Evo X. Love the powder coated flat black lookÂ* ;)

Measure the Box see if it'll fit, but why would you want to keep an intake that throws your Fuel trims off the wall???

on other news WE ARE BACK IN STOCK ORDER UP BOYS!!!

Oops, guess that explains why I haven't been getting PM's. I just thought there was no love for CI lately lol. PM's are cleared out!
Is the AEM intake known to be problematic on the X's? My tuner didn't mention anything to me about it so I assumed it was all good?
BTW, just curious, how hard would it be to cover the blingy parts of the cone filter with black paint or coat?

Thanks guys and keep doing what you're doing!

Not trying to whore up your thread Juan but if someone wants a color that's a little bit different my Bardabe Performance intake is for sale as well, not because I didn't like it but I'm getting rid of my car today.

I just told Sam the black cover looked sexy and then he made me do some things I'm not proud of and then I had a black cover. It was worth it, but I still can't look Sam in the eyes. :(

I really want to know this. If it is enough to warrant me dropping the price for a new intake, I will totally do it. Too bad this intake didn't come out when I got my car.

[CICreations]

I will be having the car retuned today with the new intake. I'll post the results over the AEM intake.

[CICreations]

Car is sounding absolutely beastly on the dyno! I do apologize mother earth for the exhaust smoke ;)

Just Did Back to Back Dyno, AEM Intake for Evo X VS Bardabe Performance Intake, Bardabe Performance Made XXwhp and XXft/lbs more than AEM.


heheheheheh


:smitten:

[CICreations]

Well it's not really as clear cut as to say the BB intake made X more then the AEM since a WGA, 3-Part, and test pipe were also installed and the 2 tunes are 2 years apart. The BB intake does, however, look cleaner in the engine bay and makes some mean noise being an open element over the enclosed AEM. So far I'm happy with it and Juan's customer service is on point!

I'll second the Customer service, plus I have him on speed dial :D, and it does sound VERY aggressive

Sound Clips NOW or it sounds like a Honda LOL!

[CICreations]

^ lol I'll get the GoPro on the car this week and do a couple pulls so you can hear the intake suck goodness! The stock BOVsounds like it's damn near VTA now lol. All the forum members that are buying aftermarket BOVs for more sound should just go with an open element intake instead. Might keep all the HKS BOVs off the classifieds lol.

nice but honestly it just doesn't do it justice.

[CICreations]

I agree. The wind noise is hard to overcome. Maybe I'll try inside the car with the windows up.

[Andrew9RS]

Damn, Listen to that thing spool, I could only imagine how it sounds in person!

[evox11]

nice work juan

[bardabe]

^^^ Thanks steve, time to get your hooked up.

UPDATE NUMBER 1: EVERYONE WHO BOUGHT A KIT FOR ME THERE IS A SLIGHT RECALL ON THE INTAKE, NOTHING MAJOR AND NOTHING THAT AFFECTS PERFORMANCE. I HAVE FINALLY CAME UP WITH A BRACKET TO HOLD THE INTAKE IN PLACE. EVERYONE WHO WANTS THEIR INTAKE UPDATED PLEASE SEND ME AN EMAIL TO [email protected]

UPDATE NUMBER 2: Seems like my intake has made its way to evoxforums.com why members that haven't even tested it or seen it in person are giving it bad publicity is beyond me, if you want to share your experience that would be rad.
